What Will Happen....
You probably know that i have not passed the GSoC final evaluation. Although i am a bit discouraged (it's natural i think), as said from the begin, it's not my intention to abandon my project. Money wasn't my first motivation to work, and it will not be in any case.
It's just a short post to tell you what is the state of my code, and about which i'm working on.
At the end of gsoc, contacts kit's base classes are working fine, People were refactored to use my contact API, so i'm writing here my goals for the next period (deadline is presumably before january) :
* Move attribute indexing from People to the PeopleTranslator.
* Adjust file changes monitoring in People.
* Add a PeopleFilePanel class to export contacts into formats different than Person format.
* Fix all TODO and my late mentor's suggestions
* Create BContactList and BContactFieldList classes to make basic operations on collections of objects...like merging of contacts.
* Finalize BContactGroup by using the mentioned classes.
* Create the BContactRoster class, and make working the BAddressBook class (that will wrap /boot/home/people).
* Integrate Mail with BAddressBook.
Sorry for few details, my first need was to notice you that i'm already working on the project.

Re: What Will Happen....
That's great, that you dont abandone.
My respect.
Re: What Will Happen....
Very glad to hear that you will continue to work on this! The functionality provided by the Haiku kits is obviously a cornerstone when it comes to luring developers into doing Haiku native applications, and as such work such as your contacts kit is extremely valuable.
I also hope that despite this let-down you will apply again next year if Haiku is picked up for another SOC, given that you now have alot of Haiku experience I'm sure you will have a great chance to be selected again.
Thank you for all your hard work!
Re: What Will Happen....
That's nice to see you staying committed to the project idea.
Please continue to share your progress via the project SVN (and commit small, commit often ;-) ), so that everyone could see how it comes.
Or at least, me ;-)
Re: What Will Happen....
Good effort, it takes a lot to commit to something like this and you're showing that you can do it.
I'm sure everybody appreciates your work!
Re: What Will Happen....
The work has been put in and I hope any discouragement can be sidelined as the work you have done has been acknowledged by users and developers as a success.
